A production from the Everyman Studio, Cheltenham. Teechers is a well-crafted, well observed and, you could say, political comedy that knows where it’s coming from. There are several underlying messages and occasionally an overt tirade about equality and opportunity but the general consensus is that everybody would be much happier and more fulfilled at Saint Georges, the posh school on the other side of town. Paul Milton’s direction was tight and to the point and had some nice touches. Very enjoyable and recommended.

But of course it is Tweedy and William Elliott who are the stars of the show, Tweedy as the omnipresent Buttons and Willie as the Baroness – Hardup by name, hard-up by nature. The high-spot of the show was probably the archery, with each in turn being strapped to a giant revolving wheel while the other fired arrows at them . . . If it is Willie and Tweedy that provide the building blocks it is undoubtedly Wyn Pearson’s rousing music which is the cement that binds the whole lot together.
